1934 Ford Roadster

1934 Ford Roadster Pickup

The Bonneville Salt Flats are a densely packed salt pan in Tooele County in northwestern Utah, United States. A remnant of the Pleistocene Lake Bonneville, it is the largest of many salt flats west of the Great Salt Lake. It is public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management and is known for land speed records at the Bonneville Speedway. Access to the Flats is open to the public.

For consignment, a 1934 Ford pickup hot rod with a design and power plant with thoughts of making a run on the salt flats. It\'s got all the right stuff with no fenders or bumpers, fiberglass cab, Chevy 4.3 Vortec V6 with a performance cam and a TH350 tranny. A removable soft top makes it even more desirable.

Exterior
This truck has the bones of a 34 pickup but has been shaved of the bumpers and fenders. Steel and fiberglass mix and all are bathed in black and all miles deep when you look at these panels. A nice shield styled grille is centered on the dropped front suspension, and just aft a cowled hood with a large V8 decal on its top. Vented side cowls are on, and as we visually move black we see suicide doors. The cabin is covered with a nice tan canvas convertible removable top. In back is the steel black painted bed and sides. The sides are straight and have an angled top edge to them. On the bed next to the cab is a black painted diamond plate steel box. The bed is oak and has wood center strips. On the back is a tailgate with some chromed flat vertical ribs and a lower chromed bar. Horizontal mounted teardrop tail lights are on a shaved of the bumper rear flat roll pan. Dual exhaust tips peek out from the bottom. 15-inch American Racing Salt Flat style wheels are on and in front wrapped with 185/80R15\'s and in back larger 235/70R15\'s.

Interior
Rear hinged doors have an orange vinyl top sill edge and ivory tuck and roll lowers with a black actuator. Inside is a bench seat, also covered with orange and ivory, and it is very nicely preserved. A rally steering wheel fronts an all black painted steel dash with a machined aluminum swirl pattern instrument cluster backing in the center. Instruments are vintage VDO cream faced and these have brass bezels around them. A few knobs and pulls are there too.The floors are covered with clean black carpeting and sides of toe kicks are tuck and roll ivory vinyl. A Gennie shifter rises from the center.

Drivetrain
A Chevrolet 4.3 liter V6 Vortec engine resides under the cowled hood. It is fitted with a performance cam, aluminum heads and an Edelbrock intake and 4-barrel carburetor. A TH350 3-speed automatic trans is on back with a Ford 8.8 inch with 3.31 gears. Headers and a Flowmaster exhaust are on for the exhale. This engine is very buttoned up and has an electric fan to cool it down.

Undercarriage
A 1932 Ford provides the frame and it has an additional tubular cross member. Mustang II provides the front suspension and for the rear its a 4 link with coil overs. Manual disc brakes in front and manual drums for the rear.

Drive-Ability
The rod fired right up and idled smoothly. After a brief warmup it was bounding for the test track where I stretched its leg and it did not disappoint. Good handling, easy steering and smooth gear transitioning..automatically! All was working just swimmingly.

A nice steel and fiberglass \'34 pickup and rodder with a powerful 4.3 liter V6 and auto tranny. So with this consignment not only can you haul the goods but you can also haul ass!! Vroom vroom.
